Mad Ants Handle Baxter Springs, Snag 4-1 Win
Portland pitcher John Sherline did his part in helping his team defeat the Baxter Springs Marshals, 4-1. The opposition could never get too much going against the left-hander. Sherline, now 7-11, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 4, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. Kevin Kovach notched his 32nd save in 34 chances.

Portland relied on the hitting of Eric Alvarado to pick up the win. The left fielder ripped a 2-run triple in the top of the fourth inning to put the Mad Ants on top, 3-0. For the game, Alvarado had 1 triple and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"It never gets old," said Sherline. "Winning, that is."

Portland now has a record of 69-67 with the win.
